with him:
GLOW do the residents OF Salt Lake
City look upon the proposed road

the first question asked.
Well, its just this way. There has
been SO much talk about it and, appar-
emily, so little actually accomplished,
that they are just now awaiting devel-
opments.
Many OF the citizens are interested
in the road and they state it will be

titled to proportionate part Of the

RIGHT OR WRONG.

Theresa a way that leads up to goodness
To heights that are most sublime,
Away from the fields Of darkness,
The sorrowful haunts of crime,
And as you begin life's journey,
A pause you're compelled to make,
For there are two roads before you,
And which are you going to take.
There are comrades waiting to join you
The noble, the good, the true,
The false, the. worthless, the vicious,
The evil ones not few
And how can you choose among them
How can you stand up strong,
Without God to help you
Decide between right and wrong?
One step in the way Of evil
May fasten the tempter's spell,
Once taste of a proffered pleasure
And the thirst you may never quell.
With liberty, life, and manhood,
All that is good at stake,
There are two roads open before you,
And which are you going to take?
Halt at the narrow crossing,
Whisper an earnest prayer
Heed nor those mocking voices,
The enemy's touch beware;
Pledged to the cause of virtue,
Sustained by Saviour's might,
When two roads open before you,
You will surely turn to the right.

man was able to explain that he
had seen what seemed to be wild
animal of ofextraordinary proportions,
which made a noise like a hundred
cats, plunging around on the Com
modore's lawn, and had came over
to investigate; and no sooner had he
discovered that the object was a big
gunny bag full of cats, and had pre-
pared to release the animals, than
Commodore had opened fire on him
from the window, with disastrous
effect.
The policeman sued Vanderbilt
for damages and the Commodore
had to pay him $1,000 to settle-a
fact which became quiet GENERALLY
known. AS to the cats, he knew
where they came from, but the
peculiar and unfinished nature of
the transaction with the boys pre-
vented him from mentioning it, or
from breaking with the bootblack,
who continued to shine his boots as
fyore. The day after the Commo-
dore had settled with the policeman
the boy looked up from his box and
remarked:
"Sleep well last night boss ?"
The Commodore only grunted in
response.
"Any cats, nowadays?.'
The Commodore jumped up from
the chair.
"See here !" he exclaimed; chow
many cats did you kill that night?"
"Ninety-three, boss"
The Commodore pulled out his
checkbook and hastily drew check.
"Here's check for $780," said he
"and now don't you ever say cats to
me again in your life, nor talk about
this thing to any body else, or.In
break every bone in your body"
agreed, boss" said the boy, as he
pocketed the check.

Woolen Underclothing.

Among the many means by which
we seek to guard ourselves from the
effect of chill, there is one which
hardly, even now, receives sufficient
attention-the use of underclothing.
TIE majority Of the male sex do,
indeed, show their appreciation Of
its wholesome qualities but there
remains a considerable portion OF
these, and a far greater number of
women and children, who prefer an
underslit Of other material. Yet
the superior advantages Of wearing
wool next to the skin are easily ap-
parent OIL reelection. They do not
depend merely on its greater warmth
and closeness Of application. 1t is
further capable, according to its
texture and in virtue of it's compo-
sitlon, Of better adaptation, in re-
spec. of temperature, to the needs
Of various climates, and the changes
Of seasons, than any other dress
material Moreover, whether it be
line or rough, dense or light, woolen
clothing, it is evident, exhibits a
special faculty for absorbing and
distributing moisture. 1t is this
property especially which renders II
the natural next covering olthe CON
stantly perspiring skin, If one be
engaged, for example, in active exer-
else of limb, u linen fabric will alb
sorb what products Of transudation
it can, till it is wet, but will leave
much moisture unabsorbed upon
the clammy surface; whereas, a
flannel, from its more spongy nature,
will rest upon q skin which it has
nearly dried, and be but damp itself
1t is obvious, then, that in the
event of an after-chill, and this oc-
ours in summer as in winter, the
body is in the latter case most IA
vorably disposed to resist it. Flan-
mel is not less cleanly than linen
though it may be less white and il
the wearer bathe daily, it is surpris-
ing how long it will retain its purity
The disadvantage of skin irritation
to which it sometimes gives rise, is
usually associated with coarseness
of quality or freshness Of manufac.
ture, and is with nearly all who have
experienced it a merely transient
condition. Women as well as men
but, above all, children and the
aged, who are alike particularly apt
to take cold, should certainly adopt
a wooden material for their custom,
airy undergarment. 1t is easily pos.
sible to adjust the texture to the
season, so that it shall be warm
enough in winter and not too warm

A Wonderful Spring.

Memphis Avalanche: The most
Wonderful discovery Of modern
times is that which has recently been
made on Michigan farm. A COW be-
longing to man named Liesman,
living near Holland, began drinking
from spring some distance from
the house, though there was an abun-
dance of good fresh water nearer by.
Soon thereafter the animals hair
began to grow, and the milk chang
ed to a dark color and tasted bad
The milk was fed to the pig and cat
and the hair of these animals began
to grow. The cow, pig and cat are
now covered with shaggy coats o
hair from eight to ten inches long
That it is due to the COW drinking
] from the spring Mr.. Liesman is wei
satisfied, and it is not unlikely tina
it will find its way to the soda fount
of the country as the boss thing fo
bald heads.
